After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

Also have Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge and will probably reinstall Deus Ex sometime in the future (I installed it once and it ran well but made my computer run hot and since then I've gotten a cooling pad thing which helps a lot).

Been playing Lost Planet 2 and L.A. Noire which I've been trying to do without looking up any of the answers and it is NOT going well because I honestly can't tell if there's a difference between somebody who's lying and somebody I should doubt. You practically need to be a body language expert to get through the interviews.

Right now I'm trudging through L.A. Noire. Am I in the minority here in thinking this game is unnecessarily long and tedious? I think this game would have been a lot better if they'd just focused on you being in homicide. Maybe add some more cases not related to the Black Dahlia stuff and keep all the street crimes in. That would have been fine. Instead I'm stuck doing more bullshit cases in Vice.

And the Condemned games did the whole crime scene investigation a whole lot better.

thanks to the amazing sales steam has been having all week, im now re-playing deus ex: game of the year edition.
for $2.50 :D

Steam wants all my money this week. And if I owned a PC, I would give it all my money. So instead I just got the orange box, and left 4 dead, and left 4 dead 2, and torchlight, and I'll probably get counterstrike... and then something else I want will be on sale tomorrow too...

And still, I play team fortress 2 the most and it was free. Stupid loss-aversion psychology.

Like the game but I'm like a bad luck charm. When I'm on defense we'll lose all out controls points in minutes. When I'm on offense we'll go 15-30 minutes without making any progress and lose the match.

Bulletstorm was awesome. The most fun I've had with a game in quite awhile. This is coming from someone who hates the type of games it's trying to emulate (Serious Sam, Duke Nukem, etc). Great level design too, very colorful. Only problems real I had were: A) Cutscenes graphics were icky. They looked a lot worse then the rest of the game which is the polar opposite of most games. B) Not enough skillshots. Ended up doing some maybe 100 times. This game had I think 137 skillshots, something like that. Next game should have 1370. C) Skillshots give you too many points. Towards the mid-point of the game I had so many points that I could pretty much fully upgrade every gun, fill them all with ammo, and still have a huge surplus a points left over. And D) No co-op for the single-player campaign.

Anyway, I'm in the process of selling a bunch of my old games. Singluarity is going bye-bye and so is Bad Company 2. Times is tough.

I couldn't stop playing Beyond Good and Evil. Then got stuck. Not major stuck but enough that I've gone back to FF8 until I finish it.

Sure you can't name the characters like you can in all other early Final Fantasy games, but that hasn't stopped me from doing it in my head. But you can name your summon monsters which is...weird. Hasn't stopped me from doing that either.

It might interest you guys to know: I named 7 different characters after Culties. Three playable characters and four of them summoned monsters.

Hey, gimme a break! Between the playable characters and the summoned Guardian Forces there are like 20-25 people/monsters to name.

I never finished Enslaved. I should go back to it. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a little too... linear. Get through obstacles, upgrade your abilities. It has a nice story though. Despite it though, I got bored easy.

All of the PSX FFs and on (FF7-FF10) have gotten me emotional (FF6 too if you count Celes' attempted suicide if you choose for her grandfather to die), but not FF8.

Sure the gameplay was fun but the characters weren't as likeable and at times used rock stupid logic (you look all over a school for a principal but forget to check his fucking office??).

I'm not going to spoil anything but the emotional part of FF9 (my favorite) was pretty similar to 8's, but 9's was done so much better. I actually believed these characters would love each other. But not in 8.

In case you can't tell, story is very important to me in a game. Especially an RPG. Afterall, I am PLAYING A ROLE!

I already beat the main game years ago, never got around to the expansions.

I mostly played Ballad of Gay Tony. It was pretty good. Good writing and voice-acting all around. Liked that Gay Tony wasn't a complete stereotype. But I still had the same problem I've had with every GTA game thus far: after a few missions, I just get bored with everything. I have that problem with a lot of Rockstar's games. I think I only played through GTAIV and L.A. Noire because I'd paid full price for those games and wanted my money's worth. I only paid like $12 for this used so I don't see it as that big of a loss. I'll probably sell it for more then I paid for it anyway.

Only played the first mission of Lost & Damned. There's something about biker gangs that gets on my nerves. Don't know what it is exactly.

I just can't get into the combat. All I end up doing is blasting guys with electric bolts between hiding behind bins because all it takes is a few gunshots to kill you. I'm not a superhero, I'm just a cunt with a fucking taser!

Everything else about the game is alright but I can't play it more than 5 minutes without getting frustrated. And this is coming from somebody who can play Demon's Souls hours on end for the fun of it.

Thankfully, I got the game for free. If I had paid for this I'd be royally pissed.

Just beat two more bosses and am searching for shardstones to upgrade some of my weapons. Got to put those demon souls to use!

Wish I was getting that nifty collectors edition of Dark Souls. My only chance is if the $50 Amazon gift card comes through in the next few days and I can quickly preorder it before the end of the month.
